On 22nd November I graduated at Glasgow Caledonian University with a Graduate Diploma in Professional Development (Nursing). It was a really wonderful day and I was extremely proud.

I studies for three years part time while continuing to work full time, it was such hard work as well as my essays I had to undertake three case studies all over 10,000 words. I have severe unstable asthma (I am on 9 different medications for it), arthritis and several other health problems which I had to live and cope with while studying in addition I help support and care for my close friend who has several severe and potentially life threatening illness's. My last case study was written while she was in ITU, on a ventilator fighting for her life, I was warned she may not survive.
